Today started out okay then quickly become a downer day… So much drama yesterday and the bad feelings spilled over into today and sometimes I just want to bury my head and not have to take part in any of it.<\/p>\n

I’m tired.<\/p>\n

I went from enthusiastically planning out segments for "Drive-By Darkstar" (there’s a whole thing where a porn company is making pseudo-Darkstar porn, and Darkstar is like "Wot’s this?" and decides to stick his nose in to see what’s happening, and the fake-Darkstar wears a mask and bodysuit that makes him look like a gaussian blur on film and it seemed like it would be really funny and not super skeezy or dirty) to sitting here with sloped shoulders feeling like it’s the end of the world.<\/p>\n

It’s hard to be happy when you’re the emotional punching bag of the people around you. Like, one day you’re going to knock me down and I’m not going to get up again.<\/p>\n

So instead of kooky Darkstar stories, you’re all about to get a load of sad shit because that’s all I feel right now.<\/p>\n

Sad.<\/p>\n
